Altar Boy

INT. CHURCH - DAY

Normal Sunday service. A couple are sat on a pew next to each other.

WOMAN
Oh I'm so proud of Timmy! Our little altar boy

MAN
There he is now

The couple wave. Cut to the altar. It is covered in a big white cloth and has the usual stuff on top. The male priest is stood behind it preaching. At the front we see a little boy lifting up the cloth and waving from underneath the altar for a second. Then he goes back under the cloth and we can just see the soles of his shoes sticking out from under the cloth.

Sorry but that jokes a little over ripe.

Really? I've never heard it before, but it did seem a little obvious.

Ah well.
